THE BONHAM (Texas) HERALD THURSDAY, APRIL 6,1939
MASONS HOLD IMPRESSIVE
RITUAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT
(Continued from page 1)
by the Republic of Texas to Bon-
ham. The postoffice, at that time,
was Fort Inglish, a block house in
the eastern part of the city. (A re-
plica of the fort now stands on the
spot where the original Fort Inglish
was situated). To the block house
the families of Masons, and others,
as well, went, upon the approach, or
rumored approach of hostile In-
dians. It is estimated that there
were not as many people in Fannin
county then, as there are in Ward
No. 1, now. (This statement was
made when the lodge was about 60
years of age—40 years ago, per-
haps.)
The lodge has had its home in the
building now occupied by the Fannin
County Abstract Co., downstairs,
for many years. There are just two
lodges in the state older than Con-
stantine, which must have been
named for the great crusader. The
rest of the twelve preceding it are
no longer in existence. Some of the
most prominent men in Fannin
county have been members of the
organization, many of whiom have
passed on t° the beyond.
There will be services Easter Sun-
day morning and evening at Moore’s
Chapel by the Rev. M. F. Al-
len, field wbrkelc for the
Texas Synod of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. He is a very
able and interesting minister of God.
You are invited to hear him.

was to the effect that the emer-

signed by the governor. This
means that 94 per cent of the sal-
aries of the teachers for last year,
and the same for this year will be
paid. The bill carries an appropria-
tion, in all, of $1,600,000.00. Of this
